Description
Industry standards indicate that the maximum distance for Wiegand communication should not exceed 500 feet to maintain reliability. For scenarios where the cable run between the access control panel and the reader needs to surpass this 500-foot limitation, the Keyscan WIEEX2 Wiegand Extender offers a solution. This technology transforms the Wiegand signal into standard RS485, allowing a communication distance of up to 2000 feet between the WIEEX2 receiver and transmitter using standard CAT 5 cabling. Utilizing the standard RS485 output provides various design possibilities, including the integration of RS485 to fiber-optic modems and other transmission mediums, offering effective solutions for maintaining electrical isolation over extended cable runs.
